James Harden literally went head over heels for Travis Scott's new music video ... teaming up to star in the Houston rapper's visuals for his hit single, "Way Back."

FYI -- the 5-time All Star and Travis are tight ... and were even seen turnin' up together after the Rockets were eliminated from the playoffs.

It's only fitting La Flame enlisted the Beard as the focus for the self-directed vid ... given the hook's lyrics, "James Harden with the range on me n***a way back."

Harden shows off that range by playing 1-on-1 with himself and hanging upside down midair while Travis plays video games in the background.

It's weird ... but in a good way.

Keshia Knight Pulliam's fed up with late child support payments, and now wants all future dues ripped from her estranged husband's NFL pension ... no middleman.

Keshia filed new court docs in her pending divorce from ex-NFL player Ed Hartwell, asking that all of his future child support payments come directly from his NFL retirement or disability money. She says Ed's been late a lot lately, and he hasn't paid for May.

Keshia also claims Ed hasn't been allowing her to travel outside of the country for work since he's been dragging his feet on signing consent forms to allow their 5-month-old daughter to leave with mom.

Serena Williams' genetics cost her MAJOR dollars, according to former NBA star Jim Jackson ... 'cause JJ says if her dad was LaVar Ball, and not Richard, Serena would be a BILLIONAIRE.

Jim's point? That if Serena and other stars like LeBron James had parents who started their own companies like LaVar, they'd be even wealthier than they are today.

FYI -- LeBron James and Serena Williams are very, very wealthy.

Jackson told us this when we got him out in Beverly Hills ... and he's got a point ... especially if Lonzo becomes what Williams and James are ... WHICH IS ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER.

Sex and trash talk.

That summed up Kevin Hart's poker experience in Vegas -- after he trashed a bunch of poker pros and then banged the table after winning a big hand.

It was HILARIOUS!!

Kev was playing in PokerGO’s Super High Roller Bowl at the Aria in Vegas -- and in his quest for the $6 million grand prize, Hart got locked in an "all in" battle with pro poker player Brian Rast.

Kev promised if he won the hand, he was gonna bang the table.

He won -- and the table got railed.

The Indianapolis Colts lineman who attacked a taxi cart driver in Arizona and then threatened police just got 2 years probation ... but he still faces even MORE punishment.

As we previously reported, 25-year-old David Parry went on a crazy drunken bender in Scottsdale, AZ on Feb. 25 -- that culminated with the 300-pounder puking his guts out in a jail trash can.

During the incident, Parry allegedly carjacked a taxi cart, drove it around -- and then called police "f**king f**gots," "fat f**ks" and "p**syboy."

The case was divided to be prosecuted in two separate courts.

Maricopa County Superior Court handled 3 of the charges -- including misdemeanor disorderly conduct, robbery and felony attempt to commit unlawful means of transportation.

The other charges, mostly related to the DUI part of the incident, are being handled by Scottsdale City Court.

Today, Parry was punished in MCSC -- getting 2 years probation as part of a plea deal.

The catfish-throwing Nashville Predators fan is NOT A CRIMINAL -- and will no longer be prosecuted for slangin' the fish on the ice at the Stanley Cup finals.

Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala has announced the charges against Jacob Waddell will be withdrawn immediately after officials realized prosecuting the guy is a ridiculous waste of time, energy and money.

"Having reviewed the affidavit involving Mr. Waddell as well as the television coverage of the incident, District Attorney Zappala has made the determination that the actions of Mr. Waddell do not rise to the level of criminal charges," a rep for the D.A. said.

Waddell faced up to 6 years behind bars for chuckin' the dead fish on the ice at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals.

The Preds and Penguins play Game 2 in Pittsburgh Wednesday ... so watch out for more flying fish.

An L.A. home owned by LeBron James was the target of a hate crime -- someone spray painted the n-word on the front gate and detectives are now investigating, cops tell TMZ Sports.

Here's what we know ... multiple LAPD units and a neighborhood patrol vehicle responded to the home early Wednesday morning. We're told the word was scrawled on the outer gate.

We're told investigators are looking for security footage from neighbors which may show the perpetrator.

Records show LeBron bought the house back in 2015 but it does not appear he lives there on any regular basis.

The graffiti has since been covered up.

We're told LeBron was not at the home at the time of the incident -- he's presumably in the Bay Area gearing up for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, which starts Thursday.

UFC superstar Max Holloway says Conor McGregor is yesterday's news in the UFC ... and he's the man of the hour.

Holloway -- the UFC lightweight interim champ who's fighting at UFC 212 -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weekdays on FS1) and was asked how he felt about The Notorious.

"Conor was the 2015 champion. We're in the year 2017," Holloway says ... "It's about defending your whatever."

Conor defeated Holloway back in 2013 and eventually won the featherweight title in 2015 ... only to leave the division and take the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez in 2016.

Police video of the Tiger Woods DUI arrest is expected to be released Wednesday ... this according to the Jupiter Police Dept.

Woods was arrested early Monday morning after cops found the golfer passed out behind the wheel of his banged up 2015 Mercedes-Benz ... roughly 8 miles from his Florida home.

Officials noted that the arrest was captured on at least one police dash camera -- which we were told was initially being reviewed for redaction and would "likely be available for release May 31st."

The entire Mexican world will be rooting for Canelo Alvarez to knock GGG the HELL OUT ... that's according to Mexican boxing superstar Mikey Garcia.

Of course, Gennady Golovkin fights in what he describes as the "Mexican style," something that he and his trainer, Abel Sanchez, have used to endear themselves to throngs of fans south of the border.

We talked to Garcia -- an undefeated champion and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport -- and he tells us style or no style, all of Mexico is riding with Alvarez.

John Daly still supports Tiger Woods in a big way -- and says the best way to hush critics after his DUI arrest is to get back on the golf course.

TMZ Sports spoke with Daly -- who's famously battled alcohol issues in the past -- and John dished out some sincere advice to Tiger when it comes to avoiding DUIs in the future.

Turns out, Jay Z's nephew is the Jay Z of dunking on people ... 'cause the kid straight CAUGHT A BODY this weekend, and that body belonged to one of the best hoopers in America.

Nahziah Carter is his name (Carter, like Hov), and he's one of the best players in the country -- with offers from some huge schools under his belt.

He proved how dope he is this weekend by punishing 7'1" Bol Bol (a five star recruit and Manute's son) with a thunderous dunk in the Nike EYBL tourney this weekend ... all while Jigga looked on in the crowd.

Again, this is no disrespect to Bol Bol -- dude is an absolute monster.

But, sometimes, these things happen.

Tiger Woods' girlfriend is sticking to her own form of therapy in dealing with her man's DUI bust -- more shopping ... and lots of it.

Kristin Smith was in Dallas Tuesday loading up a hefty bag full of what looked like shoe boxes. While her face looks bummed out, Kristin seems to be getting through by doing what she does best ... shopping.

She's a stylist.

As we reported, Kristin broke out in hysterics Monday upon learning Tiger had been arrested and charged for DUI in Florida. That didn't stop her from finishing a $5,000 shopping spree though.

In the immortal words of no one ... Keep Calm and Shop On!

Tiger Woods' car was a wreck when cops found him during his DUI arrest -- with 2 flat tires, a broken tail light and mangled bumpers ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

The officers at the scene reported, "Both rims on the driver's side of the vehicle are damaged and both tires on the driver's side are flat."

Tiger was behind the wheel of a 2015 Mercedes AMG S65 at the time of the incident -- repairing that kind of a car ain't cheap.

Cops noted the damage appeared to have been inflicted recently.

In the report, officers say Woods -- who was a groggy mess -- told cops he believed he was in Los Angeles and was driving to Orange County.

There's more ... when officers arrested Tiger and confiscated his belongings, they noticed the golfer had a concealed weapons license.

Jack Nicklaus says he feels bad for Tiger Woods after his DUI arrest -- and says the golf community should rally around to help him.

Nicklaus was speaking with Golf Channel's Nick Menta and said straight-up, "I feel bad for Tiger."

"Tiger's a friend. He's been great for the game of golf. He needs our help. I wish him well."

Nicklaus added, "I'm a friend of Tiger's. I feel bad for him. He's struggling ... He needs support from a lot of people. I'll be one of them."

Antonio Brown ain't got nothin' on Shea Norton -- who celebrated a TD in the Legends Football League by going full motorboat on a female fan!!

Shea -- a tight end on the Seattle Mist -- caught a 9-yard out pattern and took it to paydirt in the Mist's 106-0 victory over the Denver Dream.

YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY -- A 106 POINT VICTORY.

But even crazier than the score, was Shea's celebration.

By the way, to the guy who reached over and slapped her ass ... THAT'S ASSAULT!
